But isn't the divider present to give meaning to the OMB credits?

Yes, it is but we don't always care about the meaning of the OMB credit.  For example, if it simply said "Based on The Television Movie "The Initiation of Sarah" Teleplay by Don Ingalls" would you use a divider?  I know I wouldn't.

So in your opinion, Martian, it should be either the divider with 3 screenwriter credits and 2 story by credits or 5 OMB credits without divider?

In my opinion, because this is a logical grouping, is a crew team and mirrors the credits, a divider can be used.  It does not, however, have to be used.  That being the case, again in my opinion, it should be one or the other and I would comfortably vote 'yes' to either.

@ those who say "no divider"...people are using dividers for song titles, with a single song writer.  If that is allowed, I don't see how it isn't allowed here.

I think we need a new feature, which is a button to suppress (not remove, because of contributions) all dividers in crew.

And we've been over that time and time again, with no clear outcome. I, for one, don't believe that that is allowed.

According to Ken, if it adds contexts it's allowed

No! That comment has nothing do with a song writer credit - it's about visual effects company names. If "if it adds context" is the sole criterium, then we can pretty much put EVERYTHING into crew dividers. Simple example: when someone like Ilona Herman isn't just credited as a generic make-up artist, but as Robert De Niro's Makeup Artist - that adds context as well, right? So like you just did, I could say that, per Ken, that qualifies for a divider, too? I sure hope not... As far as I'm concerned, this is the exact same thing.

Neither do I, but that doesn't change the fact that they are being contributed and accepted.  Since those seem to be allowed, I don't see how this can't be as well.  That's all I was saying.

I see IMDb-mined data being contributed and accepted, too. That doesn't make it "allowed", I hope?

But giving them a Screenwriter and a Story by credit, gives them a wrong job for this movie. Just because it is within the divider which gives the context shouldn't change the crew role.

As the rules specifically state, "Please don't submit content from a third party database" and, more importantly, "mass copy from a third party commercial database which violates their stated usage license is not allowed," it seems like you are arguing for the sake of arguing.

In my opinion, as long as the divider is used to make it clear that they did those jobs on the other film, it doesn't matter.  In fact, now that I think about it, I prefer this method as it tells us exactly what they did while OMB is quite generic.

And next will be a credit for Brad Fiedel because there's some song in a movie that's inspired/based on The Terminator Theme by Brad Fidel, just because a matching divider was entered, but he made nothing for the movie.

I might be alone with this opinion, but a crew role should always be the same, with or without the context of an divider.

Btw, I'm absolutely agreeing that the more details are great, but not this way. Still think something as a credited as field for the crew role would be great.

You're most certainly not alone, no.

And we actually have that. It's just not contributable. As such, everyone can enter as much detail as he wants, without bothering anyone else with it.

We only give credit to the actual song writer, not what the song might be based on, so I don't see this happening.

Anyway, I have given my opinion, it's up to the contributor, voters and screeners now.

But in the op question, you would give a screenwriter credit for a thing that it is based on.    I hope you can see my point.

You think about the custom role field?!
Not satisfiying for me, because it removes the associated role, but still thanks.
